Jordan Rodgers has every intention of marrying JoJo Fletcher.

Though few Bachelorette couples have made it down the aisle, Rodgers firmly believes that he and Fletcher will buck the trend and say "I do." Sharing a photo from Monday's season finale via Instagram Monday, the former NFL player waxed poetic while envisioning their future together.

"When you look back at your life it's those little moments when one decision completely changes the course of your life. A few months ago I took a leap of faith that took me on a journey that lead me to the love of my life. @joelle_fletcher I love you more than anything! You are the most amazing woman on this planet, you are my best friend, and my rock. You are the best thing I wake up to in the morning and the last thing on my mind at night," Rodgers wrote in the photo caption. "Today is not the start of our love story, it's the start of a new chapter."

Rodgers, who beat out Robby Hayes to win Fletcher's hand, said his feelings have only intensified. "I have grown to love you more and more with every passing day. I loved reliving the greatest day of our life tonight. The day we decided to take on the world together. To be fully committed to each other for the rest of our lives," the 27-year-old reality star wrote. "That seems like a long time, but already I know it won't be nearly long enough. I never grow tired of laughing, crying, living, and loving with you, and I never will. Here's to the next 100 years, and a 100 more after that, because no amount of time is ever long enough to spend with the love of your life. You are my everything, and I'm so ready to marry you and do life with you!!" Rodgers' caption mirrored what he told Fletcher when he popped the question. "I'm so unbelievably in love with you," he told her as they stood on the beach in Phuket, Thailand. "You're my best friend. You're my soul mate. I'm going to keep you safe. I'm going to protect you. I'm going to wake up every morning and choose you over and over and over again until you tell me I can't."

When the couple appeared on ABC's The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special, Rodgers addressed the drama surrounding their relationship. "We can't be there to support each other in front of everybody, it hasn't been easy," he said. "But it's made us that much stronger."

Fletcher said it's "been very difficult," but later praised her fiancé, telling host Chris Harrison, "He's been nothing but so honest to me." As Rodgers explained, "It's been difficult, but that's what we expected. She's the person I want to do it with and the person I want to do life with."
